Top 10 Blog Posts for the Week of June 12, 2011

Fantastic week in the blogosphere. 5 newcomers on the list! Some tips gleaned from these amazing posts: you are your biggest obstacle to success, the bad economy is only an acceptable objection in so far as a customer plans not to stay in business, profits are not the bottom line, people respond to an emotional connection rather than to facts, and we should say, "I'm sorry THAT..." when we are apologizing instead of, "I'm sorry IF..." These are but a few pearls of wisdom contained in the posts that made this week's top 10. It was a very competitive week. Great content all around. Enjoy!
